beleive in your self
if noone els
you can
just have a plan
get out of bed
thats
HOW TO GET AHEAD
E-arnestly learn to get ahead,
M-ake it through the blue;
J-oy will be yours later,
O-pen race is set before
Y-ou.
O-n Wednesday February fourteenth,
R-ise up from your bed;
I-t's time to reach your goal,
Z-ealously learn to get
A-head.
How are you, are you under the weather?
I hope no one has stolen your thunder
Don't face the day with a white feather
Don't let this life rip you asunder
Come rain or shine, it'll be a breeze
Cloud nine always has a silver lining
Life can be harder than math in Chinese
While the stars take their time aligning
Take a breath, throw caution to the wind
And soon you'll be right as rain
This storm in a teacup will quickly end
It's just a gust and not a hurricane
G-et ahead in life,
E-arly in the morning mist;
M-any a runner trails in the game,
M-ove on, never go
A-miss.
G-et ahead in life,
U-nderneath the blue sky;
I-n spite of the tribulation,
R-emain focused, aim so high.
O-ctober twenty-second Sunday, stay away from strife;
N-ever ignore the Lord God, get ahead in life.
You can get ahead
Just take that first step
Forge through the valley
Always believe in yourself
Rise to the challenge
Show your brilliance of display in your skills
Go through that hazardous fire
Possess a strong will
G-et ahead in life to win,
I-t's a matter of determination;
N-ew strength you truly need,
A-s you must also have conviction.
T-o gain success in life
A-s well as satisfaction;
C-ontrol yourself in discipline,
H-aving kept away from transgression.
A-fter making much sacrifice,
D-ay two in windy June;
O-ne dream of a victory is witnessed by the dune.
B-elieve in the Almighty,
U-sing your trust in him,
H-ope for the big triumph,
A-s you get ahead in life
T-o win.
don't foot this bill
stand still
so much you miss
now do the this
make a start
get on the sucess chart
get out of bed
THAT
HOW TO GET AHEAD
School work leads to thrilling careers
Say hooray hip hip--give three cheers!
A student's new skill
Brings success just until
The bill for the loan's in arrears!
It's such a small death,
This being worn down
By inches, by cuts
Bleeding the wallet
Dry, to feed the thirst
The Legion of bills
Bring to the door,
Insatiate
Thirst for money.
The bills come
Money goes
More arrive.
Sighs, rage.
Balance:
Null.
